What did you do to your Mirage today?

Ed Zachery.

I don't know your age, but if in the future you buy something like a Mustang GT350, you'll be glad you didn't spend any more money on your Mirage than you did. And, may be glad you still own the Mirage as a daily driver.

I already own a sports car, a really well maintained Mazda RX 8. The Mirage is my daily driver. This doesn't mean it has to look like one, lol. I like all of my vehicles to look their best, and if it cost a grand or so to get it there, so be it. Age has nothing to do with it (I'm 55), it's a preference.

I assume you meant putting "go fast" looking parts on a car that can't back it up(a mirage)?

Too much offense taking round here lately.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Go fast parts on a slow car. I agree too much offense, so I *try to stay out of the political and covid threads.

What Civic guys fail to realize, is that when they hang out with a club of mixed "sports" cars, the V8 guys make fun of them when thier back is turned, and to their face frequently, directly proportionate to how loud their fart can is. And ... in my opinion, rightly so.

I will be on a long drive this sunday.

So i tend to clean the inside of my mirage.

Out of nowhere, i remeber i found some vids and concerns here in the Phillippines about rat bites from the wires.

I thought mine woulndt have this because i have several stray cats living under my car if it parked outside the house.

To my surprise it still was bitten by the pesky rats. So i tfixed it.

Wth! I've never seen a rat. Crazy how they go after the same location! I read about a fox tearing up some wiring on someones van in the UK, they caught it on security camera.

That's interesting that you guys use a different fuel pump assembly than we do in the north americas. You don't have a pressure sensor thing Attachment 19761

And fuel tank is different too.

not sure why

[Eggman]

Emissions?

[BillAce]

US has a fuel pressure monitoring safety requirement that other markets don't. There was a higher incidence of vehicle fires in collisions that was traced to the high fuel pressures used to meet US fuel economy standards. System pressure is monitored for deviation the could indicate a possible failure and a DTC is thrown to get the vehicle serviced to avoid a safety risk.

And it's the sensor that will tell you if you forgot to tighten your gas cap or have a different evap leak.

Or have a dirty filler neck.

[Fummins]

Or times when you hooked the evap hose right into the cabin to breath in those sweet fumes when you're low on beer and money. Good times huffing gas fumes!
